THE NEED TO.

A SCHOOL GIRL IN LONDON IN 1950S

Enid holds
the wee in
focusing

nothing else
not Miss A
in the class

history
being taught
about kings

or their queens
matters now
just the need

right now to
urinate
her eyes strain

to focus
on the floor
on a foot

someone's shoe
a chair leg
on Miss A

standing there
by the board
but Enid

wants to go
to the door
but too late

small wet patch
on the floor.

Aww, poor girl! Hard to keep the wee in when you're little. Cute one terry!
